What is a Freight Forwarder

• Intermediary organizing air and sea freight shipments, without owning assets

• Provide Export/Import Logistics Services – Documentation

– AES Filing

– Customs Brokering Services

• 5,000+ forwarders nationwide – 65% of shipments handled by the top 40

• 120 Million Air & Sea Shipments Annually – 95% of air freight controlled by forwarders

– 20% of sea freight controlled by forwarders – but handle 80%

– Estimated 200,000 – 300,000 employees world-wide

N.V.O.C.C. - Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier

• Similar to a Freight Forwarder in terms of activities – The NVOCC can and sometimes do own and operate their own or leased

containers whereas a Freight Forwarder does not

– Negotiates volume contracts direct with Ocean Carriers of Steamship Lines

– In certain countries like USA, the NVOCC operators are required to file their tariffs with the government regulatory bodies and create a public tariff

– A Freight Forwarding company can act as an agent/partner for a NVOCC

• An Ocean Freight Pricing Broker

• An NVOCC is basically a “carrier to shippers” and a “shipper to carriers”

Limiting Factors in Export of Grains

• Cost ratio of Containerization vs Bulk

• Advantage – IP and Smaller Volume Access

• Distance from plants (ethanol – DDGS) – Transload services for rail loading

– Reliance on Chicago

– Coastal loading with delivery by bulk rail

• Iowa Advantages to Consider – Ethanol Plant Locations

– Livestock Production/Value Added

Iowa Inland Port

• Container Pool

• Cooperation and Interest of Rail, Ocean Carriers

• Container Pool/Rail Loading

• Transload Facilities for Grain
